Hi,

Is there any way to get the tile count or tile names shown in current scene?

Hi there,

“viewer.scene.globe.\_surface.\_tilesToRender.length” will get you a count of all tiles (across all terrain and imagery providers). Be careful, since this number is potentially misleading, and the method accesses private members, which aren’t publicly documented and we make no attempt to keep around.

Can we have more details about your use case? If we understand it better we can look into exposing a more helpful method of retrieving this data eventually.

Hope that helps,

- Rachel
